Convert SOAP response to associative array using SimpleXML

Question

How do I convert SOAP response like this to php array using SimpleXML?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Header> <eWAYHeader xmlns="http://www.eway.com.au/gateway/rebill/manageRebill"> <eWAYCustomerID>9******5</eWAYCustomerID> <Username>ac****@si****.com.sand</Username> <Password>*******</Password> </eWAYHeader> </soap:Header> <soap:Body> <CreateRebillCustomerResponse xmlns="http://www.eway.com.au/gateway/rebill/manageRebill"> <CreateRebillCustomerResult> <Result>Success</Result> <ErrorSeverity /> <ErrorDetails /> <RebillCustomerID>60066328</RebillCustomerID> </CreateRebillCustomerResult> </CreateRebillCustomerResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>

Can you please explain how you got this and what you intend to do with it, cause i smell a bad case of "Not using technologies correctly" here — Mathieu Dumoulin

@AchinthaSamindika, any reason you want it to be associative array? The SOAP response you get can be pretty easily parsed/traversed with XPath (see some good point here), also using SOAP extension seems a better choice. — Juicy Scripter

You might want to look at SoapClient class then? It'll save HEAPS of trouble.
